5B Classroom: Week of December 3rd

A note from Mrs. Burke:
Report cards were sent home on Friday with your child.  If you have not seen their report card yet, you should ask them for it.  Hopefully, it made it home in their Take Home folder and didn't end up in the bottom of their backpack.  

Students worked hard on their colonial trade essay this past week.  A note will be sent home this week about the colonial trade fair that will include the date and what students should be working on at home to prepare for the trade fair.  

Also be on the look out for a note about our upcoming holiday celebration in 5th grade.  

Take a look at what our classroom reporters posted on our classroom blog last week.



Hour of Code:  Learning about computer programming

Which activities have you enjoyed the most on the Hour of Code website? Why are they your favorites?

My favorite activity was “Dance Party” on hour of code because you could pick
your own character, have more than one character, choose the dance moves,
pick the song, design the lighting, and there were a lot of different levels.
-Madison

My most favorite game on Hour of Code was Dance Party. You get to make
your own dance characters, choreograph your moves to make a show, and
choose the song. It was my favorite because I really like dance and music
and I really like to make dance shows online. - Abigail

I like the dancing game because you get to make/create your own dancer.
-Jayden

Dance party was my favorite because you got to dance dances and get the kids music.  I created it dances from coding.
-Cash

It's fun and you get to use new code and I love dance party.
-Jack

I really like the Dance Party on hour of code because it really gets your brain going and you can drag command blocks and you can customize it and you can have it whip, dab and floss. You can also make a name for it like BOB. Hour of code is really fun. I recommend it.  
-Madylyn

The activities I have enjoyed the most on the Hour Of Code website are Dance Party and The Grinch. In Dance Party you program the background of the place your animals/things are dancing, what animal/thing they are, their size, their dance moves, the music, when their dance moves change, and what they change to. With coding, you can make your own Dance Party!
-Flynn

Dance party is one of my favorites and the Minecraft game too. The dance party is when you make characters and make then dance. in the Minecraft game you make the little person move by controls.
-Owen

Wednesday was when 5B had library. We didn’t get to choose what activity
we got to do on Hour of Code. However, the activity we used was pretty fun
to everyone. People enjoyed the music and dance moves so much that they
wanted to share the experience with others. We all got to listen to our favorite
songs, and create different combinations of dance moves! From disco backgrounds
with Believer, to rainbow with Up Town Funk! At first students thought it would be
boring, because they wanted to do Minecraft coding, or something different, but
everyone -in the end- found it to be really enjoyable, and  creative. And, I agree
with myself on that.
-Braelyn

I love Hour of code because we get to make things on our own without
permission. It is awesome.
-Zachary

In library we had hour of code. It is a online free coding website. My favorite
activity is dance party. It was my favorite because we got to create our own dances.

What are a couple of details you have included in the colonial trade essay you have been writing this week?

In social studies we have been doing our essays for our colonial job so then
we can have our colonial fair. I can't wait for the fair. We will know when the
colonial  fair is when we are done with writing everything and getting prepared.
Teachers haven't decided yet, but soon they will know when the fair is.
